Finally a new PixelProspector video! :)
This video shows a selection of 55 fresh indie games that…
- …were all released in 2012/2013* (or are still in development)

It doesn’t take long (few secs per game when you are logged into Steam) and helps the devs greatly. :)

PixelProspector Art Contest Has Ended
The PixelProspector Art Contest has now officially ended…
…and now you can check out the 50+ drawings in the gallery!
I gotta say that the submitted art is really awesome!! Thanks for taking the time to create such fantastic stuff and sending it over. It made me smile more than once :)
Moreover also big thanks again to all the developers who sponsored their games for the contest.
PixelProspector Art Contest

Create PixelProspector Related Art + Send It Over = Get An Indie Game + Chance To See Your Art Shine In A Nice Little Gallery
Update: Most people have read the rules and that’s cool and I appreciate that :) However some people obviously don’t read the rules so I just put them in this box in the hope that I don’t get swamped anymore with really poor submissions (explained at #2 below) by people who want something for nothing…
Rules:
- #1 – The art must be drawn by yourself
- #2 – The art needs to show at least some effort (you don’t need to be a professional artist but expecting to get a game by sending something that was put together in a few secs (stick figure or the PP Logo just slightly modified with a pixelate filter etc.) is disrespectful to the developers and to the contest. Which means no game in that case.)
- #3 – The art needs to be related to PixelProspector (which means it has to include the mascot).
What kind of art you are asking? Well that’s completely up to you…
for example the PixelProspector mascot could be hanging out in the arcades, or mining for gold, or exploring a dungeon… steampunk, cyberpunk, stoneage, game mockup?
Anything goes!!
